The Florida Panthers picked up a strong victory as they began their latest road trip on Tuesday night. Facing the Anaheim Ducks for the second straight game, but this time in Southern California, the Panthers did well to stay with the program and ultimately skated to a 5-2 win.

LOS ANGELES – The Florida Panthers will wrap up their first of two back-to-backs on their current road trip when they visit the Los Angeles Kings at Crypto.com Arena on Wednesday. Overall, Florida is 5-1-0 on the second half of back-to-backs this season.

Verhaeghe stole the puck from Anaheim defenseman Jacob Trouba behind the Ducks' goal before putting it into the upper right corner of the net to extend the Panthers' lead to 3-1 with 1:11 remaining in the first period. Florida has scored three times in the first period four times this season which trails only Tampa Bay and Ottawa (both five).
